What the Nazis attempted was nothing less than the total physical annihilation of the Perspective Jewish people. This unprecedented atrocity has come to be known as the Holocaust.

The first chapter traces the background of Nazi antisemitism, outlines the actual murder cam­ paign, and poses questions regarding the reac­ tion in the West, especially on the part of American Jewish leadership. The second chap­ ter, “Against Mystification,” analyzes the vari­ ous attempts to obscure what really happened. Bauer critically evaluates the work of historians or pseudohistorians who have tried to deny or explain away the Holocaust, as well as those who have attempted to turn it into a mystical experience.

  • RESISTANCE During the Holocaust
    RESISTANCE during the Holocaust United States Holocaust Memorial Museum This pamphlet explores examples of armed and unarmed resis- tance by Jews and other Holocaust victims. Many courageous acts of resistance were carried out in Nazi ghettos and camps and by partisan members of national and political resistance movements across German-occupied Europe. Many individuals and groups in ghettos and camps also engaged in acts of spiritual resistance such as the continuance of religious traditions and the preservation of cultural institutions. Although resistance activities in Nazi Germany were largely ineffective and lacked broad support, some political and religious opposition did emerge.

  • Women's Resistance Efforts in Nazi Germany 1939–45: Herstory1
    Women’s Resistance Efforts in Nazi Germany 1939–45: HerStory1 Jillian Wales Abstract German resistance to the Third Reich garners much attention in the scholarship of Nazi Germany. Yet the resistance efforts of German women in this period have consistently been devalued, if not disregarded by historians. Examining case studies of women’s dissident behaviour in Germany between 1939 and 1945, this essay reassesses women’s resistance and argues that their efforts were significant. Despite differing motivations and backgrounds, the Rosenstrasse wives, the women of the Kreisau Circle, Maria Terwiel, Sophie Scholl, Gertrud Staewen, Erna Dubnack and others, undermined Nazi authority and overcame gendered expectations to resist in both the public and private spheres. Through protests, underground movements, aiding the enemy and non- conformity, they gave or risked their lives, resisting the Nazi regime amid an atmosphere of terror and repression. Although accounts of the crimes of Nazism, its victims, perpetrators, collaborators and passive supporters should not be downplayed, stories of women’s resistance efforts in Germany during World War II are worthy of historical recognition. Women’s resistance efforts in Nazi Germany between 1939 and 1945 receive little scholarly attention. Indeed the majority of female resisters remain nameless, invisible in history.2 Accounts of the Kreisau Circle and Red Orchestra dissident groups pay fleeting attention to Countess Freya von Moltke, Countess Marion Yorck von Wartenburg and Maria ‘Mimi’ Terwiel.3 Herbert Baum is considered more memorable than his wife, Marianne, and Hans Scholl more impressive than his sister, Sophie.4 Yet these women and numerous others pitted themselves 1 The term HerStory seeks to emphasise that women’s lives, deeds and participation in human affairs have been neglected or unvalued in standard histories.
